H-1B Dismissed — Physical Therapy (2007): did not establish certification for a foreign health-care

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide the required certification for a foreign health-care worker, as mandated by Section 212(a)(5)(C) of the Act. The petitioner argued that a state license should be sufficient, but the AAO upheld the director's decision, stating the certification from an approved credentialing organization was a mandatory and unfulfilled requirement.
